*** I think we should stop spending our time on this subject, use our iBook
for what it's made - make computing fun again - and buy a new battery if it
dies.

On the other hand, if you like to spoil your days worrying about how to make
your iBook function prefectly, don't forget the screen shouldn't be on all
the time. The more it's on the faster it will brake down. I read somewhere
you should put it to sleep after 2 sec. in order to make it last until 2076.

Until then take aspirines for the headache the flashing screen is going to
give you or learn how to type in the dark, that is without an image... :-P
